A sysadmin death by "suicide?"
May I offer to this discussion the "suicide" of the Vodafone’s - Greece, Network Planning Manager, Kostas Tsalikidis, after it was reveiled that the Greek's prime ministers, head of army etc etc (hundrends of key people) mobile phones were beeing tapped, by subverting the lawlful call intercepts?

The question is whether he killed himself for real (if he was indeed cooperating with some foreign agency) or whether he "killed himself" because he found out who has installed the root kit s/w. Access log files from the facility the code was installed was removed, before revealing the issue, by Vodafone management!!!
So a hero or a traitor? Anyway he seems to be one of the first real world kills in the cyberware game...
10 years ago these were regarded by many, especially those dont wanting to see the facts, as consiracy theories, after Snowden all this has changed.
